Getting the Word Out about #WomenPayItForward

A Message From our Founder:

I’m Catherine Dahl, co-founder and CEO of Beanworks, an accounting automation platform that makes it simple and easy to pay your vendors from PO to payment.

I not only understand the challenges of being a woman in technology, but I’m working to support women at my own company. I believe a diverse team is key to success: my own executive team is 50% female, which is why I’m reaching out to you today.

The female execs at Beanworks are dedicating time to a STEM program for young girls in honour of International Women’s Day. I’m challenging you to do the same and join the movement. Together, let’s empower more young girls and women to build successful careers in the STEM fields.

How You Can Help:

Reach out and share this exciting initiative with your female colleagues in STEM and challenge them to pay it forward
